Origin and history

The house 4 Marius Street in Marville is a building whose origins date back to the early 14th century, as evidenced by dendrochronological analyses. Its construction follows that of the nearby castle, attested from 1214, but before the construction of the urban enclosure. This building, originally raised in the Middle Ages, bears witness to the civil architecture of this period in the Lorraine region.

In the last third of the 16th century (after 1566), the house underwent a major transformation with a complete recovery of the floors, reflecting the architectural evolutions of the Renaissance. Subsequent work, particularly in the 17th century, concerned chimneys and their mists, which had been modified again in the 18th century. These successive interventions illustrate the continuous adaptation of the building to the needs and tastes of its occupants.

The monument is distinguished by an exceptional interior decoration, including preserved murals on the last level, protected since the inscription of the house as a Historic Monument in 2015. The facades, roof and gables, as well as the structure and solving of the ground floor, also testify to its heritage importance. The accuracy of dating, allowed by dendrochronology, makes it a rare example of architectural evolution over centuries.

Located in the department of the Meuse, this house is part of the urban landscape of Marville, a commune marked by its medieval history and its Lorraine heritage. Its classification covers both structural and decorative elements, highlighting its historical and artistic value. The exact address, 4 Marius Street, and its Insee code (55324) anchor this heritage in the Greater East.
